About the SC Conference Series

Established in 1988, the annual SC conference continues to grow
steadily in size and impact each year. Approximately 5,000 people
participate in the technical program, with about 11,000 people overall.

SC has built a diverse community of participants including
researchers, scientists, application developers, computing center
staff and management, computing industry staff, agency program
managers, journalists, and congressional staffers. This diversity is
one of the conference's main strengths, making it a yearly "must
attend" forum for stakeholders throughout the technical computing
community.

The technical program is the heart of SC. It has addressed virtually
every area of scientific and engineering research, as well as
technological development, innovation, and education. Its
presentations, tutorials, panels, and discussion forums have included
breakthroughs in many areas and inspired new and innovative areas of
computing.
